SF-AI-AgentScript Skill

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:

• maintaining Builder metadata agents (GenAiFunction, GenAiPlugin, GenAiPromptTemplate, Models API, custom Lightning types) → sf-ai-agentforce
• designing persona / tone / voice → sf-ai-agentforce-persona
• building formal test plans or coverage loops → sf-ai-agentforce-testing

If the user is in Builder Script / Canvas view but the outcome is a .agent authoring bundle, keep the work in sf-ai-agentscript.

Right-Size Determinism

• Determinism is a dial, not a destination.
• Use Agent Script when “mostly right” is not acceptable: gates, mandatory sequencing, explicit state transitions, compliance, or drift control.
• If a workflow is fully static and linear, use Flow or Apex instead of scripting the conversation.
• Prefer a deterministic envelope: deterministic entry/gate → flexible middle → deterministic closeout.
• More determinism is not automatically better. Start minimal, then harden only the parts that show routing drift, sequencing failures, or compliance risk.

Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

• agent purpose and whether Agent Script is truly the right fit
• Service Agent vs Employee Agent
• target org and publish intent
• expected actions / targets (Flow, Apex, PromptTemplate, etc.)
• whether the request is authoring, validation, preview, or publish troubleshooting

Activation Checklist

Before you author or fix any .agent file, verify these first:

1. Exactly one start_agent block
2. No mixed tabs and spaces
3. Booleans are True / False
4. No else if and no nested if
5. No top-level actions: block
6. No @inputs in set expressions
7. linked variables have no defaults
8. linked variables do not use object / list types
9. Use explicit agent_type
10. Use @actions. prefixes consistently
11. Use run @actions.X only when X is a topic-level action definition with target:
12. Do not branch directly on raw @system_variables.user_input contains/startswith/endswith for intent routing
13. On prompt-template outputs, prefer is_displayable: False + is_used_by_planner: True
14. Do not assume @outputs.X is scalar — inspect the output schema before branching or assignment

Non-Negotiable Rules

1) Service Agent vs Employee Agent

Full details: references/agent-user-setup.md

2) Recommended top-level block convention
